Can you live in the jungle? Can you live with the jungle? On Martinique, we wild camped and hiked to where the road ends. In Dominica, we drank from the river, peed in the bush and ate the crops grown on the spot. The jungle of the Caribbean Islands sticks to us. Emma and … Continue reading Eat, sleep, WorkAway​

We are spoiled. For over a month, we have been travelling the Caribbean islands of Saint Lucia and Martinique and we only think about how to get away. Mid December Testarossa landed on Saint Lucia. Right away, we started the search for a new boat to hop onto. We had set our hopes on the … Continue reading Stuck in paradise

Whack! And you’re awake. The boat is rounding up so we jump out of the cabin. Everything starts falling down. We’re tilted sideways. Enzo is the reason for our rude awakenings. When the spinnaker is up, Enzo the autopilot can’t cope with more than a fresh breeze. We’re on deck taking the spinnaker down in … Continue reading Across the Atlantic

Moving every day for two months started to weigh on us. In Galicia, wild camping is allowed. We took full profit, showering and setting up … Continue reading After the end of the world

In the end on the last 100 km to Santiago de Compostela, we had to slalom between the walkers on the Camino Frances. You feel that you’re just another pilgrim, wanting that certificate. Than our route took us off the Camino. Into the Galician forest, we cycled up for the first glimpse of that cathedral. … Continue reading On and off the Camino Francés

“There you can see Mars, Venus and Altaïr,” Yves pointed out. We realised we hadn’t watched the stars in a long time. Actually, we couldn’t see them until then. We’re city kids, cycling through the countryside. The ‘Oude wegen’ route takes us through tiny, deserted villages and past vast hilly pastures. Somewhere along the way … Continue reading Two city kids on the countryside
